DORAL, FL - A man in his twenties was arrested and charged after a couple allegedly found him hiding under their bed at a hotel. Police allege that the man entered the occupied room through a rear sliding glass door and concealed himself under the bed while the couple slept.
The alleged suspect, 25-year-old Ritchel Calvaire, was arrested in connection with the incident, which allegedly occurred at the Provident Doral hotel on Thursday, September 10, according to an arrest affidavit reviewed by PEOPLE.
According to the arrest affidavit, a man and a woman checked into a room at the Provident Doral on Wednesday, September 9. After entering the room, the couple closed the blinds to the room's rear sliding glass door and went to sleep. The woman told police that she felt movement near the bed around 4:00 a.m. the following morning, but fell back asleep.
She said she then felt movement again, this time from underneath the bed, at around 6:30 a.m. The woman said she looked under the bed at approximately 7:45 a.m. to make sure she had not left or misplaced any belongings, and that was when she allegedly saw a man hiding there.
She and her companion immediately left the room and sought help from security. Police located and arrested Calvaire in relation to the incident that same day.
According to the arrest affidavit, the hotel's security manager told police that Calvaire had stayed at the hotel previously but checked out on August 31 and had been instructed not to return. However, he returned about two days later and was escorted off the property after collecting belongings he had left behind.
Police allege that Calvaire returned to the hotel yet again and entered the occupied room "by jumping over a balcony fence and entering through a red sliding glass door," then "subsequently concealed himself stealthily underneath the victims' bed" while they slept.
Calvaire was booked on September 10 and is facing a felony charge of burglary of an occupied dwelling and a separate misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer without violence, according to arrest and court records. An initial hearing date has not yet been set.
